    This started a few months ago when I noticed something strange on my projects page:

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/2zzcjxqnoz6pv92/Screenshot 2014-04-29 20.31.55.png

    The "-" is a project from Electric Vice.

    I thought it was strange, but the project ALSO does appear in the electric Vice bank: https://www.dropbox.com/s/c2863xsfz4s1ogn/Screenshot 2014-04-29 20.32.43.png (It's think complex)

    But I just noticed something strange on my sample page as well. Electric Vice has its own "type":

    And the weird thing is, the sample in question "Clap Amsterdamage" does NOT appear in the samples when I choose the Electric Vice bank, as seen here:

    I have deleted the shared/electric vice directory. I have also deleted the .plist in application support (I have a mac). I have reinstalled electric vice. Same exact issue.

    And, being an NI sample, I can't seem to edit the tags ...

    Thoughts?

    I had some issues with the Helios Ray expansion due to it referencing a sample from a completely different expansion.

    Had to delete it from the browser but reference it for its parent project so the project would still load.

    N.I. testers must have ALL the expansions on their computers, so they don't pick up on these small errors.

    Any thoughts? I know it's a minor issue but the rest of my browser is so "clean" ... :)

    EDIT - is there an easy way to completely ERASE all remnants of electric vice from computer? Then I'll simply download again

    i also have this problem, several files from electric vice and dropsquad have disappeared out of the libraries and created their own folders.

    if you want to edit the tags, you just change the permissions of the directory to give you "write" access. this it the equiv of unlocking it, but know that any changes you do may be overwritten in updates... the best method is to save the ones you like to your user directories.
